Flu shot & Pregnancy
I'm asking for a friend....
She's 4 months 16+ weeks. Extremely worried...
Did you get a flu shot? Would you?
Thanks 
Good luck to all!!!

Flu shot & Pregnancy
I got it this time and with my DS. I've been getting the flu shot for years and never had a reaction and never had the flu. It's all a personal preference though.

Flu shot & Pregnancy
I am still very early in my pregnancy, but I do not plan to get the flu shot. I have many friends who have had it and they had no issues or side effects.

Normally I am indifferent about the flu shot, but I think it is important to get when you are pregnant - especially since this years flu seems to be strong.

I got it. I get sick really easily and the flu can be dangerous for the baby.

Re: Flu shot & Pregnancy
I have never gotten the flu shot before... until I was pregnant. My doc suggested I get it, as it will also pass to my child which is helpful since they can't get the shot for a while after birth.
I typically do not like putting things in my body if I don't have to but it made sense to me, and I got the preservative free shot.
Ultimately, it is up to you.

I got it when I was pregnant with dd and again this pregnancy
To me, the benefit of getting it outweighed the risks

I didn't get it with DS or tgis pregnancy. But it makes me nervous that I didn't. A friend had the flu around Christmas and was miserable.

I got it. My OB strongly recommended it. The immunity passes to the baby, who can't get it for 6 months. I got the preservative free one.

I don't typically get it, but did since my baby is due in flu season. The only immunity you can give to the baby against it, is getting the shot yourself. I just requested and made sure it was the single dose, mercury-free shot.

Re: Flu shot & Pregnancy
I got it at 10 weeks from my obgyn. I never get it otherwise but my pregnant friends have gotten the flu in the past and I can't imagine going through that.
